Seahawks, Bobby Wagner Agree To One-Year, $7M Deal

Mar 26, 2023 12:48 AM

Bobby Wagner is coming back to where he built a Hall of Fame résumé.

The Seattle Seahawks announced Saturday they had agreed to terms with the free agent linebacker and later tweeted a picture of Wagner signing his contract. The move reunites the Seahawks with arguably the greatest defensive player in franchise history while filling a significant need in their linebacker corps. And it signals that the fences have been mended following Wagner's messy departure last offseason.

A source told ESPN's Adam Schefter that Wagner's deal is for one year and $7 million.

Seahawks Will Consider Drafting QB Amid Talks With Geno Smith

Mar 1, 2023 8:29 AM

The Seattle Seahawks are working to re-sign Geno Smith, but that won't stop them from considering a quarterback with the fifth overall pick in this year's draft.

John Schneider described contract talks with Smith as "positive" thus far.

"We are totally connected to the quarterbacks that are coming out," Pete Carroll said. "This is a really huge opportunity for us. It's a rare opportunity. We've been drafting in the low 20s for such a long time; you just don't get the chance with these guys. So we're deeply involved with all that."

The Seahawks haven't picked in the top five since they drafted linebacker Aaron Curry with the No. 4 selection in 2009.

"A lot," Schneider said when asked how much the Seahawks are looking at this year's quarterback class. "Every year, honestly, we really look at it a lot. Like I said earlier, we haven't picked fifth overall since we've been here. So yeah, I got out to see a lot of quarterbacks this year. It was pretty fun. But honestly, every year we've tried to do that, and we've tried to add quarterbacks."
